Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), Volume 133, Issue 1, 12 2 2022, Pages 20-26 Graded lower body negative pressure induces intraventricular negative pressures and incremental diastolic suction: a pressure-volume study in a porcine model. Berboth L, Zirngast B, Manninger M, Steendijk P, Tschöpe C, Scherr D, Hinghofer-Szalkay HG, Goswami N, Petersen LG, Mächler H, Alogna A
Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) is a tool to study compensatory mechanisms to central hypovolemia for decades. However, the underlying hemodynamic mechanisms were mostly assessed noninvasively and remain unclear. We hypothesized that incremental LBNP reduces diastolic filling and thereby affects left ventricular (LV) diastolic suction (DS). Here, we investigated the impact of graded LBNP at three different levels of seal as well as during β-adrenergic stimulation by invasive pressure-volume... Abstract

We assembled an ancestrally diverse collection of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in 180,834 affected individuals and 1,159,055 controls (48.9% non-European descent) through the Diabetes Meta-Analysis of Trans-Ethnic association studies (DIAMANTE) Consortium. Multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis identified 237 loci attaining stringent genome-wide significance (P 50% posterior probability. This improved fine-mapping enabled systematic assessment of candidate causal ge... Abstract

Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, Volume 9, 10 2 2022, Pages 870459 Atrioventricular Block Necessitating Chronic Ventricular Pacing After Tricuspid Valve Surgery in Patients With a Systemic Right Ventricle: Long-Term Follow-Up. Nederend M, Jongbloed MRM, Kiès P, Vliegen HW, Bouma BJ, Regeer MV, Koolbergen DR, Hazekamp MG, Schalij MJ, Egorova AD
Background: Patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after an atrial switch or congenitally corrected TGA (ccTGA) are prone to systemic right ventricular (sRV) failure. Tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation aggravates sRV dysfunction. Timely TV surgery stabilizes sRV function, yet the development of atrioventricular (AV)-conduction disturbances in the course of sRV failure can contribute to sRV dysfunction through pacing-induced dyssynchrony. This study aims to explore the incidence,... Abstract

Kamperidis V, de Graaf MA, Uusitalo V, Saraste A, Kuneman JH, van den Hoogen IJ, Knuuti J, Bax JJ
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) may show diffuse coronary artery atherosclerosis on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). The present study aimed at quantification of atherosclerotic plaque with CTA and its association with myocardial ischemia on positron emission tomography (PET) in DM patients. Of 922 symptomatic outpatients without previously known coronary artery disease who underwent CTA, 115 with DM (mean age 65 ± 8 years, 58% male) who had coronary atherosclerosis and under... Abstract

Background: Treatment with thoracic irradiation for classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) leads to improved survival but also increases the risk of cardiovascular events. Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is usually assessed by echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), whereas global longitudinal strain (GLS) can detect early subclinical LV dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if conventional echocardiographic parameters and GLS are associated with cardiovascular ev... Abstract

Background: Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) provides an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). In patients with a long-term or permanent contraindication for OAC randomized controlled trial (RCT) data is lacking. Study objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of LAAO in AF patients who are ineligible to use OAC. The co-primary efficacy endpoint is (1) time to first occurrence of stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic, or unde... Abstract

Introduction: Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) in cardiac surgery is performed under systemic heparinization. Adequacy of heparin therapy and anticoagulation during ECC is assessed by activated clotting time (ACT), although there are concerns regarding the reliability of this measure. The ACT can be affected by factors other than heparin anticoagulation. A novel factor that should be considered is the influence of a COVID-19 infection. More than half of the hospitalized COVID-19 patients develop... Abstract

Aim: Early detection of impending fluid retention and timely adjustment of (medical) therapy can prevent heart failure related hospitalizations. The multisensory cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) based algorithm HeartLogicTM aims to alert in case of impending fluid retention. The aim of the current analysis is to evaluate the performance of the HeartLogicTM guided heart failure care path in a real-world heart failure population and to investigate whether the height of the index and th...

Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), Volume 132, Issue 6, 5 1 2022, Pages 1560-1568 Cerebral hemodynamics during sustained intraoperative hypotension. Kho E, Sperna Weiland NH, Vlaar APJ, Veelo DP, van der Ster BJP, Corsmit OT, Koolbergen DR, Dilai J, Immink RV
Static cerebral autoregulation (CA) maintains cerebral blood flow (CBF) relatively constant above a mean arterial blood pressure (BPmean) of 60-65 mmHg. Below this lower limit of CA (LLCA), CBF declines along with BPmean. Data are lacking in describing how CA reacts to sustained hypotension since hypotension is usually avoided. In this study, we took advantage of a procedure requiring sustained hypotension. We assessed static CA for LLCA determination, and a more continuous CA, which counters sh... Abstract

European heart journal open, Volume 2, Issue 4, 2 1 2022, Pages oeac031 A comprehensive analysis of the intramural segment in interarterial anomalous coronary arteries using computed tomography angiography. Koppel CJ, Verheijen DBH, Kiès P, Egorova AD, Lamb HJ, Voskuil M, Jukema JW, Koolbergen DR, Hazekamp MG, Schalij MJ, Jongbloed MRM, Vliegen HW
Aims: An anomalous coronary artery originating from the opposite sinus of Valsalva (ACAOS) with an interarterial course can be assessed using computed tomography angiography (CTA) for the presence of high-risk characteristics associated with sudden cardiac death. These features include a slit-like ostium, acute angle take-off, proximal luminal narrowing, and an intramural segment. To date, no robust CTA criteria exist to determine the presence of an intramural segment. We aimed to deduct new CTA... Abstract

Vos RJ, van Putte BP, de Mol BAJM, Hoogewerf M, Mandigers TJ, Kloppenburg GTL
Objectives: In patients with deep sternal wound infection (DSWI), primary closure of the sternal bone over high negative pressure Redon drains has shown to be a safe and feasible treatment method. Addition of local gentamicin could accelerate healing and improve clinical outcomes. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of local gentamicin in the treatment of DSWI. In the treatment group, collagenous carriers containing gentamicin were left between the s... Abstract
